Why are we talking about this? The New Way Glass Cockpit Distractions and Spatial Disorientation Pros and Cons Cockpit Set-up and Management Helpful Hints Discussion / Questions / War Stories

Slide 13

Local Pilot Talk: I just put one of those digital engine monitors in, its more important now than anything else, even the attitude indicator. Crew Communication: What is this doing now? Is it supposed to do that? Look, it did it again!

Slide 14

Situation: Engine fire during take off and subsequent engine shutdown. The pilot is setting up for a single engine ILS approach. Question: Sir, I cannot remember the threshold steer point for RWY 33C. AND WHY WOULD THIS BE IMPORTANT?

Slide 15

Situation: Pilot is executing a missed approach due to weather and has to divert. Action: While executing the missed approach the pilot diverts attention to setting up onboard avionics for the divert to the alternate airfield. The aircraft enters a right bank and begins to descent. Passing 500 AGL, in IMC, the aircraft was in an unrecoverable attitude. Shortly after that, the screens went red and the pilot was caught by surprise, he was unaware of what had just happened. RIP

Slide 38

Sometimes called Misorientation Unrecognized by definition Distraction may not be strong Lasts a relatively long time

Slide 39

I just put one of those digital engine monitors in, its more important now than anything else, even the attitude indicator. Thats not what I wanted to do! What is it doing now? Why is it doing that? How would you do that?

Slide 40

You are inbound to the IF/IAF and get a routing change, holding, different approach, etc. The autopilot is not doing the right thing so you disconnect it while you troubleshoot the avionics and set up for the procedure. Hand-flying / Buttons / Distraction All the ingredients for spatial disorientation are there!

Slide 41

If you feel behind, FLY THE AIRPLANE first, slow down and catch up or hold. Find out where you need to go, you should know where you are at all times, shouldnt you? If you cant figure it out, ask for help. Use good Resource Management. ATC is a resource too!
